toward gaza. the militants holding the camera celebrates and praises god. the hostages' families authorized the release after the israeli army declassified the video. >> this very short video reminds people these are human beings. >> and we need the world to act now. there is apparently a deal that maybe we're getting close to. we keep on hearing that. let's get it done. >> meantime, more than 100 israeli families are suing unrwa for allegedly funding hamas and playing a key role in the october 7th attack. the lawsuit filed in federal court in manhattan accuses the agency of knowingly allowing hamas to siphon off $1 million in aid money to pay for its terror infrastructure, weapons, and explosives.

being a pro-life/pro-family nation. >> we have seen attacks on ivf. >> reporter: in maryland, the current vice president argued a second trump term would lead to even more restrictions. >> now he wants us to believe he will not sign a national abortion ban. look, enough with the gaslighting. >> reporter: two years in, 60% of americans continue to believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to a brand-new cbs poll. about half of likely voters say abortion will be a major factor for them in november. >> get me back to the white house, and i'll fight like hell to fight roe v. wade and protect american freedom. >> reporter: trump huddled with advisers at camp david prepping for thursday's debate. >> how should i handle him?
